Transformers Bumblebee Spinoff Reportedly in the Works

The Transformers film franchise could very well be getting a Bumblebee-centric spinoff, if a recent statement from Hasbro CEO Brian Goldner is any indication.

"As we go forward, we would imagine several more Transformers movies," Goldner said at this year's Global Consumer Conference (via Dark Horizons). "Not just in the current lineage but also spinoffs and focusing on certain key characters that [are] beloved by the world over.

"Many of you know Bumblebee; the yellow Camaro... formally known as a yellow VW Bug and he is a beloved character by kids all over the world," he continued. "We could see stories told around Bumblebee and other characters."

We already know Paramount Pictures is looking to expand the Transformers film universe with more spinoffs and sequels, so the possibility of us seeing a movie centered around Bumblebee sure seems likely.

Would you be interested in a film all about the transforming yellow Camaro, or will the impending release of Transformers 5 be enough to satiate your desire for transforming robots? Let us know in the comments.
